Definitions
- This invention relates generally to the field of magnetic refrigeration and to active magnetic regenerative refrigeration apparatus.
- Magnetic refrigeration using magnetocaloric materials as a working element, promises to address important limitations associated with conventional refrigeration technologies which use gas compression and expansion.
- Magnetocaloric materials have the property that their temperature changes when a magnetic field is applied. In the case of a material near a transition from a ferromagnetic state to a paramagnetic state, the material will warm when magnetized and cool when demagnetized.
- Magnetic refrigeration can avoid the use of volatile fluids, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's), that may harm the environment.
- CFC's chlorofluorocarbons
- Magnetic refrigeration can be more energy efficient than conventional refrigeration technologies.
- Magnetic refrigeration can also produce very low temperatures, which can enable, for example, cost-effective production of liquid hydrogen for use as an alternative fuel for transportation and other applications. Thus, there has long been motivation to find an effective apparatus for magnetic refrigeration.
- a regenerator is a thermal device that transfers heat into a heat transfer medium during one stage of a regenerative cycle, and then transfers heat out of that heat transfer medium during an opposite phase of the regenerative cycle.
- Active magnetic regeneration refers to a regenerator which applies a time-varying magnetic field and reciprocating flow of a heat transfer medium to an elongated container of magnetocaloric materials, to produce a temperature gradient along the container of magnetocaloric materials and to enable heat transfer into and out of the heat transfer medium.
- Active magnetic regeneration may be used in a magnetic refrigerator, to provide cooling, or in a heat pump, to provide heating.
- a bed of magnetocaloric material which is porous to a heat transfer fluid is connected to two heat exchangers, with mechanisms provided for magnetizing and demagnetizing the bed, and for effecting reciprocating fluid flow through the bed of magnetocaloric material from one heat exchanger to the other.
- a typical active magnetic regenerator device usually performs four basic operations: (1) bed magnetization, which increases the temperature of the magneto-caloric material in the bed by the magnetocaloric effect; (2) fluid transfer in the cold side to hot side direction, with warmed fluid flowing out of the bed into a hot side heat exchanger, where heat can be released; (3) bed demagnetization, which reduces the temperature of the magnetocaloric material in the bed by the magnetocaloric effect; and (4) fluid transfer in the hot side to cold side direction, with cooled fluid flowing out of the bed and into a cold side heat exchanger, where heat can be absorbed.
- a magnetic refrigeration apparatus has a magnetic regenerator bed containing magnetocaloric material, a magnet, and a means for moving the magnet in a path adjacent to the magnetic regenerator bed, whereby the motion of the magnet produces a variation of magnetic field strength in the magnetic regenerator bed, which in turn leads to a variation in temperature of the magnetocaloric material.
- the magnetic regenerator bed is comprised of a plurality of compartments arranged in a ring, and a magnet is attached to a rotating assembly which moves the magnet in a path around the ring.
- a method of transferring heat comprises rotating a magnet around an annular container which includes a magnetic regenerator compartment containing magnetocaloric material.
- the rotation of the magnet produces a cyclic variation in magnetic field strength in the magnetic regenerator compartment.
- the variation in magnetic field strength causes a cyclic variation in temperature of the magnetocaloric material in the magnetic regenerator compartment.
- a heat transfer apparatus comprises an annular container which includes a plurality of magnetic regenerator compartments, a magnet mounted for rotation about the central axis of the annular container, a heat exchanger, and a valve.
- Each magnetic regenerator compartment has a hot side and a cold side, and each magnetic regenerator compartment contains magnetocaloric material that allows the flow of heat transfer fluid through such magnetocaloric material.
- the valve has an axial port and a plurality of radial ports. The axial port of the valve is connected by a pipe to the hot heat exchanger, and each radial port of the valve is connected by a pipe to the hot side of a magnetic regenerator compartment.
- the rotation of the magnet produces a cyclic variation in magnetic field strength in the magnetic regenerator compartments.
- the variation in magnetic field strength causes a cyclic variation in temperature of the magnetocaloric material in the magnetic regenerator compartments.
- the valve is used to cause the heat transfer fluid to flow from the magnetic regenerator compartments to and from the heat exchanger at the appropriate time to exploit the cyclic variation of temperature of a magnetocaloric material for heat transfer.
- a heat transfer apparatus in another aspect of the invention, includes an annular arrangement of a plurality of magnetic regenerator compartments containing magnetocaloric material, a magnet mounted for rotation about the central axis of the annular arrangement of magnetic regenerator compartments, and a valve having an axial port, a rotating inner assembly, and a plurality of radial ports, wherein the rotating inner assembly rotates synchronously with the rotation of the magnet to connect heat transfer fluid flow between the axial port and one or more of the radial ports.
- a rotating magnet magnetic refrigerator has several desirable features.
- Work input to the device is via circular motion that may be at constant speed. Forces are well balanced, so that the net drive force is mainly that necessary to drive the refrigeration process, and this force is nearly constant. Reciprocating flow occurs to the magnetocaloric material, allowing regenerative cycles to be performed, and yet dead volume effects in the heat exchangers or between the magnetocaloric material and the heat exchangers are minimized.
- the seals used in the valve can be of simple design, are exposed to minimal wear, and generate minimal friction.
- FIG. 1 is a plan view of a rotating magnet magnetic refrigerator in accordance with the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a plan view of an exemplary compartment containing magnetocaloric material.
- FIG. 3 is a plan view of the rotating magnet magnetic refrigerator of FIG. 1, with the heat transfer fluid components removed.
- FIG. 4 is a plan view of the heat transfer fluid components in the rotating magnet magnetic refrigerator of FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the magnetic refrigerator taken generally along the lines 5 — 5 of FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of an exemplary magnet for use in the magnetic refrigerator of FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of an exemplary valve for use in the magnetic refrigerator of FIG. 1 .
- a preferred embodiment of a rotating magnet refrigerator according to the invention uses a stationary annular (ring shaped) container 11 of magnetocaloric material 12 separated into a number of compartments 13 (12 compartments are shown in FIG. 1) by radial boundaries 14 , as illustrated in FIGS. 1-3. These radial boundaries 14 impede the flow of fluid and heat.
- Each compartment 13 has a cold side 15 and a hot side 16 , and the magnetocaloric material 12 therein is porous to fluid flow, allowing heat transfer fluid 17 to be made to flow alternately from the cold side 15 to the hot side 16 , or from the hot side 16 to the cold side 15 .
- each compartment 13 has a pair of fluid access ports and associated pipes at its cold side 15 including a cold side inlet pipe 21 connected to a cold side inlet port 22 and a cold side outlet port 23 connected to a cold side outlet pipe 24 , and a pair of fluid access ports and associated pipes at its hot side 16 , composed of a hot side inlet pipe 31 and hot side inlet port 32 and a hot side outlet port 34 and hot side outlet pipe 33 .
- each magnet 40 may be mounted on a rotating magnet mount 43 , which may be driven by a motor 44 .
- each magnet 40 may have opposing faces 53 which focus the magnetic flux through a compartment 13 containing magnetocaloric material 12 .
- the magnet 40 is a permanent magnet which may be comprised of one or more permanently magnetized sections 41 and one or more iron sections 42 .
- the magnet design is such that the flux emerging from the magnets 40 through faces 53 is concentrated in one or more compartments 13 that are in regions 50 that are nearest the magnets 40 , while almost no flux enters those compartments 13 that are in regions 51 that are far from the magnets 40 .
- An intermediate level of flux may enter compartments 13 that are in regions 52 that are at an intermediate distance from the magnets 40 .
- the motion of the magnets 40 thus produces a cyclic variation of magnetic field strength at each compartment 13 , which in turn leads to cyclic variation in temperature of the magnetocaloric material 12 via the magnetocaloric effect.
- those compartments 13 that are in regions 50 will be at a relatively high magnetic field
- those compartments 13 that are in regions 51 will be at a relatively low field
- those compartments 13 that are in regions 52 will be at a field of intermediate strength.
- a heat transfer fluid pump 60 which may be run at constant speed, is connected to a fluid flow circuit composed of a heat transfer fluid 17 suffusing the circuit, a hot heat exchanger 62 , a cold heat exchanger 63 , a number of valves 71 - 74 , the compartments 13 , and connecting piping and ports. Only one-sixth of the pipes associated with the beds are shown in FIGS. 1 and 4.
- the motor 44 may include a motor shaft 45 .
- a pump drive pulley 46 may be attached to the motor shaft 45 , and a pump drive belt 61 may be used to drive the heat transfer fluid pump 60 .
- a speed reducer 47 which includes a speed reducer shaft 48 may also be attached to the motor shaft 45 .
- a valve drive pulley 49 may be attached to the speed reducer shaft 48 , and a valve drive belt 75 may be used to drive the valves 71 - 74 .
- valves 71 - 74 are set into positions such that heat transfer fluid 17 entering the valve 73 through axial port 76 from pipe 83 is directed by the valve 73 through a radial port 77 to cold side inlet pipes 21 and cold side inlet ports 22 to the compartments 13 that are in regions 50 at high magnetic field, where the heat transfer fluid 17 is warmed by the magnetocaloric material 12 , then through hot side outlet ports 34 and hot side outlet pipes 33 to a radial port 77 on valve 71 , thence through the axial port 76 to pipe 81 to the fluid pump 60 , then through pipe 85 to the hot heat exchanger 62 , where heat is given off to the environment.
- the heat transfer fluid leaves the hot heat exchanger 62 and then passes through the pipe 82 to the axial port 76 on the valve 72 , where heat transfer fluid 17 is directed through a radial port 77 to hot side inlet pipes 31 and hot side inlet ports 32 to the compartments 13 that are in regions 51 at low magnetic field, where the heat transfer fluid 17 is cooled, and then through cold side outlet ports 24 and cold side outlet pipes 23 to a radial port 77 on valve 74 , thence through the axial port 76 and through pipe 84 to the cold heat exchanger 63 , where the thermal load is cooled.
- valves 71 - 74 are set such that the flow of heat transfer fluid 17 in the hot and cold heat exchangers 62 - 63 , and in each pipe 81 - 85 between the fluid pump 60 , valves 71 - 74 and the heat exchangers 62 - 63 is in a single direction.
- the flow of heat transfer fluid 17 in the piping between the compartments 13 and the heat exchangers 62 - 63 is set such that the flow in each pipe is either in a unique direction, or is zero.
- valves 71 - 74 By correct setting of the valves 71 - 74 it is thus possible to avoid the effects of dead volume in the heat exchangers 62 - 63 or the piping to the heat exchangers 62 - 63 by ensuring unidirectional flow everywhere except inside the compartments 13 , where correctly timed reversing flow occurs.
- two magnets 40 are used, and flow from the cold heat exchanger 63 is directed to a single pair of compartments 13 in the regions 50 at high magnetic field through a single port of the valve 73 , but this is not required.
- the magnets 40 may cast a high magnetic field over more than one pair of compartments 13 at a given time, in which case it is advantageous for flow from the cold heat exchanger 63 to be directed simultaneously to more than one pair of compartments 13 . This may be done with the same piping system as described above by changing the valves 71 - 74 such that flow occurs simultaneously through multiple radial ports 77 .
- the valves 71 - 74 may also be constructed so that the flow to a given radial port 77 turns on gradually, which can be made to occur in synchrony with a gradual increase or decrease in magnetic field at the corresponding compartment 13 .
- a different number of magnets 40 or a different number of compartments 13 can be handled by a similar flow system to that described above, but with a different arrangement of valves and pipes.
- the valves 71 - 74 may be multiple position valves, two position valves, or a combination of multiple position and check valves.
- an apparatus according to the invention may be used as a magnetic refrigerator, other applications of the apparatus are possible.
- the apparatus may operate as a heat pump to provide heating by connecting the hot heat exchanger 62 to the body to be heated, and by connecting the cold heat exchanger 63 to the environment.
- the apparatus may be used in an air conditioner to provide residential cooling, or in any application which utilizes heat transfer to provide a useful result. Additional flow ports, heat exchangers or pumps may also be used.
- the compartments 13 with ports as discussed above provide fluid flow in a circumferential direction, as best shown in FIGS. 1, 2 , and 4 , this is not required.
- the stationary annular container 11 may have compartments 13 which are constructed for radial or axial flow.
- the magnetocaloric material 12 must be porous to flow, but may be in the form of particles, or thin sheets, or other high surface area geometries, which may be packed in simple physical contact, or bonded together. If unbonded particles are used, they may be prevented from escaping the compartment by use of screens or finely perforated sheets covering the inlet and exit ports.
- a liquid is used as a heat transfer fluid
- other media for heat transfer may be used.
- a gas could be used as a heat transfer medium, alone or in combination with a liquid.
- a stationary annular (ring shaped) container 11 of magnetocaloric material 12 separated into a number of compartments 13 other arrangements of magnetocaloric material 12 could be used.
- the container 11 of magnetocaloric material 12 may be formed as a disk having no central hole. There could be a greater or lesser number of compartments, there may be gaps in the container 11 between the compartments 13 containing magnetocaloric material 12 , or there may be portions of the container 11 which do not contain magnetocaloric material 12 .
- the container 11 may be comprised of a plurality of segments, or form a polygon which approximates an annular shape.
- magnets comprised of multiple magnet sections and multiple iron sections are used, other magnet arrangements could be used. For example, there could be a greater or lesser number of magnet sections, or a greater or lesser number of iron sections, or a greater or lesser number of magnets.
- the magnetocaloric material is near a ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition, in which case the material heats when magnetized and cools when demagnetized
- other types of magnetocaloric materials may be used that cool when magnetized and heat when demagnetized. In the latter case, the fluid flow directions in the magnetized and demagnetized compartments would be in the reverse sense to that described above.
